DUCati855 Moderator No. 2 Share Posted March 31, 2023 He has been struggling this year. I hope he can figure things out. He is one of a handful of golfers I follow regularly. I'm pulling for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 3 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Bummer! For the 5th decade in a row, my invite to play at the Masters in Augusta has been lost in the mail! Aaron can move the ball with the best distance wise but he is streaky based on a not-so-solid putting game. Lots of fun to watch Aaron play. Used to love to watch Jake on the regular and then on the senior tour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can launch it but it always comes down to drive for show and putt for dough. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
47sgs No. 5 Share Posted March 31, 2023 That's a pretty surprising development. I've seen him play recently and he seemed to be doing okay. Hopefully there's not more to it than coping with what he considers sub par performance, but odd he picked this week to step away. I'd give most anything to be able to play that course.

He has missed the cut at 4 of his last 5 tournaments. For Aaron that has to be tough... and not up to his standard or ability. Hope he can get it sorted.

OregonDucks No. 7 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Unless Aaron is injured or has a major personal issue to deal with, I don’t understand this decision. The Masters is one of the majors and top players only get so many opportunities to play in the Masters over their careers (unless they win a green jacket). Might as well go down swinging… Edited April 1, 2023 by OregonDucks 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2002duck No. 8 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Aaron Wise has plenty of money, so that helps. It's tough for me to judge him, but you can't miss the Masters. If he even made the cut that could have helped turn his season around. Now what? If he was afraid he was going to finish last that does not mean he won't finish last in his next tournament. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
